• Launch Into 2008...A Microsoft Geek's Timeline

  For the NuCon events we have been running with Microsoft to launch the 2008 Launch Wave, we have been giving out these Neudesic/Microsoft shirts that, IMHO, are really cool - they have this cool timeline on the back on how we see we got to here and shows a lot of the things we focus on (i.e. We use Agile/Scrum methodologies exclusively to run our projects): Simula 67 '67 Pascal '70 Internet Goes Public '92 SQL Server 4.21 Shipped '92 Scrum Created '93 SOA Coined '96 MS Released OLAP Services '98 EAI Coined '99 C# Announced '00 Web Services Coined '00 WSDL 1.0 Spec.

• New and Notable 212

  BizTalk Services This is one way to find out that the BizTalk Services hosted at http://biztalk.net have been updated :) WCF/Web Service Software Factory/Oslo/Neudesic I really love the new Web Services Software Factory and the Contract Modeling capabilities. They just recently released the WCF Security Guidance Package which automates applying security settings and guidance. After the last four years with Indigo, it is really the security that is the toughest part, simply because there are *so* many options to choose from. This really helps. Pablo has a nice post on WCF Dependency Injection Marty makes it official After almost 3 years of the one talk SOA with WCF that I have been doing (its been changed every time though), I am going for a very deep, advanced WCF talk on Pub-Sub and advanced MEP concepts and then showing how to get that advanced capability out of the box with our Neuron ESB at the upcoming Philly Code Camp . I am going to leap in at the place my other talks have ended and spend a lot more time on what you can achieve with WCF. I'm happy to announce that again, Neudesic will be a Gold Sponsor at the event UX Speaking of us, UX is one of our up and coming Practices and they recently impressed at  the Phizzpop Design Challenge in Austin. Josh Holmes had this to say, " Neudesic actually worked out of the room that I was hanging out at to be available the entire time. They had three team members, two devs and a pure designer. It was great to watch how Read More...

• Marty Wasznicky Joins Neudesic!

  Weeks ago, I stated that we had some real "big name rock star" names coming into Neudesic. I am extremely delighted and proud to announce the first of these. The one and only Marty Wasznicky has joined Neudesic from Microsoft!!! Marty worked for 6 years for the BizTalk/CSD team and is of course, the man behind the recently released ESB Guidance . He also created the BizTalk Virtual Technologist (VTS) program, of which we have 5 members at Neudesic. Marty is going to be leading our Neuron ESB Product Development, where he will join David Pallmann, also from Microsoft CSD (Indigo) group. We have been one of the "go to" partners for Microsoft on BizTalk and all things SOA/CSD and Marty will still be working with BizTalk, with a focus on incorporating all the great Oslo technologies as they emerge. I truly believe that we have something very exciting in our Neuron ESB product that really accelerates .NET 3.0 development from 6-12 months down to days. As an accelerator for WCF, we are truly working with Microsoft to increase adoption of .NET 3 and to make the ramp up curve much less. I know, that I will be making it a major focus of my SOA practice. To say I am excited would be an understatement! Look for another big name announcement very soon :) [tags: Marty Wasznicky , .NET 3.0, Neudesic, Neuron, ESB, SOA, SAS, Service Oriented Architecture, Enterprise Architecture, Software Architecture, Indigo, WCF, Windows Communication Foundation, Microsoft, CSD] Read More...

• Managed Services Engine

  As I met with Don Smith last night coordinating some things related to the Web Services Software Factory last night, he mentioned to look for the release today of Managed Services Engine , a solution that supports service virtualization through a meta data-driven service repository using .NET and Microsoft SQL Server. Along with today's other SOA related anouncements , the use of MSE as a Service Repository, helps address current gaps in the story. The Web Services Software Factory, in its V3 form is very different than any of the earlier versions. V3 is a Modeling release and gives us Contract/Model First people the modeling abilities to create WCF services correctly. Finally we have WSDL Modeling and Data/Service Contract Modeling. V3 comes out Wednesday. Read More... Posted Tuesday, October 30, 2007 6:35 PM from Sam Gentile : WCF | 0 Comments Filed under: WCF, WCF/Indigo, SOA, CSD, Oslo, Connected Systems, PAG, P & P

  5th annual SOA and BPM Conference kicked off proper last night with a party. There was lots of networking. For now, here's a picture with my favorite Microsoft employee :) This morning, there will be some major announcements, which will change the whole way Microsoft does SOA, which I will be permitted (finally!) later to blog so stay tuned here. First up was Don Ferguson , who used to be an IBM Fellow, and created Web Sphere is giving the first keynote. Why did you leave IBM and come to Microsoft?

Next up is Robert Wahbe, Corporate VP, who is responsible for CSD - 1000 people - Sold out! - 72 Sessions - Real World SOA It's Time to change the game Maybe we can make these apps faster by assembling services in a model-driven way - dialogue between IT and business Improving the s/w dev lifecycle Integrating w existing apps and services What is We Going to Do?
